Who wants sixty nine? - LotusTalk

SweetDaddyD · 07-11-2007, 09:42 PM

I know you opened this SuperVixen!

Anyway I was playing with some new vinyl and now I have a couple extra 69's. Who wants them? They are on clear static cling vinyl so you can take them off and re-use for the next race. People have had no problems getting a couple full seasons out of these. Or I can make you a different #, from a different material. I'm just always playing around with something new.

These ended up looking more red in the picture, but trust me, they are orange. Obviously they are constantly changing color a bit depending on sunlight, and viewing angle.

Mr. Know · 07-11-2007, 09:43 PM

Nice! Looks like a blast from the '70s!

Lotus F1 · 07-11-2007, 09:44 PM

Well it is my birth year

muttpep · 07-11-2007, 09:59 PM

how much? I like the material...

AgentTripleX · 07-11-2007, 10:07 PM

How do you know me so well?

Yes, I'd like some sixty nine. You've already got my address from the last time.

Do you think it would look hot on my nightfall blue Elise?

Rugbyduck · 07-11-2007, 10:10 PM

I like the 69's too!! You think they would look good on KG?

I will PM my info...in case you have more.

LotusUSA · 07-11-2007, 10:11 PM

I want one.

Chris Mackey · 07-11-2007, 10:16 PM

look good. I can vouch for this man's work:

Tracy to comment in 9.... 8.... 7....

Rugbyduck · 07-11-2007, 10:22 PM

You know...I could have bet who was going to post in this one!

SweetDaddyD · 07-11-2007, 10:45 PM

Thanks Chris. I actually designed this while playing around making your numbers and looking for "60's fonts" Just thought this number combination in this font looked good with this funkier material.

Lotus USA was the first to call dibs via PM. So if he pays he gets these. (or he might pick something else, I dunno)

I can make any other number from all kinds of specialty vinyls (and normal ones too) Or I can make this one again, change the font, whatever you want.

I'm getting up in about 3 hours (to make vinyl before work), so I'll answer any questions I missed once I get to work tomorrow. (don't worry, I own that business too, I'm not screwing my employer!)

Rugbyduck: I'll resume PM's tomorrow and get you taken care of for the Krypton (love that color!)

Oh, and $50 a pair for these. $5 for priority mail shipping.

Nice ! purrrrfect number for nightfall, I'd go with it

pianomaniac · 07-11-2007, 11:55 PM

69....yes, the year I graduated from high school. Did I just admit that?

XXX, I picked up material just for you today. It's going to look sweet on nightfall blue. They are gold 1.5 inch defracto-lite mosiacs. (like this but gold and a huge-er pattern).

OK while I'm making a bunch of ridiculous graphics up, who is going to take Florescent orange on a black car (or green), or reflective orange on an orange or black car? (I might make that up tonight if I have another night I don't feel like sleeping more than a few hours, lol) Well that and after I get some of your guys paid for ones made up. How about Reflective black for someone with a white or Krypton Exige? That will be the hotness.

You've seen my numbers with the Lotus background on pro10is4life's thread and like I said, they are about two years old and getting long in the tooth. What can you suggest that will look wicked on my green car? I'd still like to have the numbers 111 and have at least a hint of the Lotus emblem. The seperate class needs to be XP. I love the reflective numbers look.

SweetDaddyD · 07-12-2007, 09:10 AM

Slaughtr:
I saw the ones on his red car. Are those the ones you are talking about? You designed them? If so, nice design.

Is your car BRG or Krypton (or some other green I don't even know about)?

How about we design something and instead of putting it in a circle, we do the lotus rounded corner triangle shape thingy for the number plate? As far as material I think the big holographic pattern gold I picked up this morning could look cool on BRG. On Krypton I'm thinking reflective black (think road sign how they illuminate at night kind of reflective, not holographic like this) would be a cool alternative the matte black I've made a few of for them.

But I have plenty of other materials, and normal stuff too. Man I really want to make a glow in the dark set for somebody, but I can't afford to special order a full roll of that stuff. $$$$$. And the place I deal with doesn't sell it in small quantity. If someone really wants it though, I'll figure out to get some without paying $1,200 for a roll, or whatever ridiculous cost it is.

My car with numbers is the BRG car at the top of the second page of his thread. You idea sounds great, I like the idea of the rounded triangle instead of a circle. Here's my car again, I'd also like to make the XP with the same reflective material. Currently, the background of my class letters is the same as my car and I like the way it blends, that might make the letters pop, but I'm interested in your thoughts. Anyway, could you do a mock up? An interesting font would be nice too.

SweetDaddyD · 07-12-2007, 09:51 AM

As far as making it blend, I'd have the car in front of me with my color charts to get the closest match possible- but we can just screw blending and put it on clear material so the paint shows though. Do you want to stick with the number 111 (assuming so)?
I have a number of paid for jobs I need to get out first but once I get them knocked out I'll work on mocking something up. I might just make them and if you don't want them I'll pop them on here the same way and see if anyone does. I'll see how energetic I am and how little sleep I need. lol. I need to get photos of different designs anyway in case I decide to put together a website for this type of work.
